Even though I love psych, I ended up picking cardiac. I actually start June 1st. How long were you in ND for? Any decent places to live in the downtown area? I checked out the area via spotcrime.com and saw that it might be a rough neighborhood ne...

I might be going to Sanford on the cardiac progressive unit as well. Have 2 offers for cardiac & psych, not sure which I'll choose yet. I love psych but I also want a med/surg experience, too, since I'm starting out. Anyone have any experiences w...

Only RN experience I have is 5 months of Home Health, and that was Per Diem. So I guess, according to quite a few facilities, I'm still a new grad and will still be one if/when I reach the 3 year graduation mark. How frustrating this job hunt is.
Hi, everyone. I graduated May 2011 and am wondering if I'm still considered a new grad, and at what point I'm no longer considered. I just took an RN Refresher course and completed it this past May. With the RN Refresher certificate, do I qualify ...
